See Team seats for the full walkthrough.

  • Adding or removing a seat does not change your billing period or billing dates: your billing date, monthly or yearly, remains the same as the original subscription.
  • If you add a seat:
    • You are charged immediately for the prorated remaining time before the next invoice, on your saved payment method.
    • Your next invoice reflects the new number of seats.
  • If you remove a seat:
    • Your account balance is credited with the prorated amount for the remaining time of your subscription.
    • Your next invoice reflects the new number of seats.

Example:

If you have a yearly subscription ($47.88) created on 1st January and you add a seat on 1st of June:

  1. You are charged immediately about $23.94 (half of the billing period remaining).
  2. The next invoice on 1st January is $95.76 (= 2 × $47.88).
